How do I know when I have 1800 hours for CPN credential?

Hi! Sorry if this is a dumb question but I genuinelly don't keep track of how many hours I work. I calculated that since I work full-time, I would have over 1800 hours doing 1 year of pediatric nursing (doesnt include off days). Nurses who have CPN how did you know you were eligible? will my employer say something to me when I am eligible since I work at a children's hospital ?

Like someone already said, you do not have to prove the hours. At my children's hospital they offered a review course for CPN that was maybe 2 days, which we got to take free and got paid to take... great deal! Plus they paid for the exam. They want as many nurses as possible to get their CPN.

Look at your pay stub from December-- it should say the number of hours you've worked that year.

Yes, I am a nurse resident at a children's hospital and I just learned they do the same! thanks so much !
